Annie is such an amazing trainer! I feel super comfortable with her, she is so nice, and she is very knowledgeable. My puppy already knew some of the commands we went through during our sessions but Annie took the time to go over other things my puppy was struggling with since she already knew the command we were working on that day. She did this multiple times. She is always so kind and attentive and just fun to work with!

They did a great job with our puppy. I would highly recommend taking your dog here if you want to stop any behavioral issues or just want to develop a closer bond with your dog.

We could not be happier with our experience working with Dog Training Elite! Josh has trained both of our doodles and each time we were amazed how quickly our dogs transformed before our eyes!
He first trained our goldendoodle, Finn, who
was having some aggression issues a few years back. He helped make Finn less anxious through training which has made all
the difference for us. When we recently added a Bernedoodle puppy to our family, we knew where to turn! Josh trained Birdie so patiently even though she was stubborn at times!
One of the things we love most is the DTE training structure. They focus on building skills slowly, teaching one command each week, which has been such an effective and successful process. Our dogs have been able to truly learn and retain each command before moving on.
We can’t recommend them highly enough—if you’re looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and cares about long-term success, this is the place to go!
